Looks like the 'Havoc' really lived up to its name , doubt if there was a survivor or two , funny, the TV3 news cut the video short.

Odd how they did not eject since it looks as though the chopper was in a VRS!

I thought the same but maybe they thought auto-rotation was to work at that height , counting the seconds it happens I would say they would have going a serious decider mode or maybe it simply it did not have system , also many, they do take specific gear out off display machines.
